In 2026, the North Dakota State Fair proudly joins the nation in celebrating America’s 250th birthday, while also honoring ND 250—a milestone that reflects the people, traditions, and communities that built our great state.

With more than 60 years of fair history, the North Dakota State Fair has always been a place where tradition meets new experiences. The 2026 design reflects that legacy by blending classic patriotic colors with bold, modern elements that capture the energy, excitement, and movement of today’s Fair.

Deep reds, whites, and blues honor the historic significance of this once-in-a-generation celebration, while warm accent tones and vibrant highlights reflect the sights, sounds, and summer atmosphere that generations of fairgoers know and love.

Every design choice was made to honor our past, celebrate our present, and look ahead to the future—just as the Fair has done for more than six decades.

In 2026, we’re celebrating 250 years of history, community, and pride — The Fair Way.
